And because of this, no browser of mine is allowed to send notifications, and also no app by default - they have to prove themselves useful first. Sorry fellow developers working on notifications, your work goes to the drain (mostly).

I recently unsubscribed from a grocery delivery service becuase they kept pushing adverts through their app. I gave them notification permission so I could see when my delivery is nearby, not so they could spam me. Voting with my wallet on this one. (For the curious, a subscription means free delivery. The subscription costs 10 euro a month, and if you don't have a subscription, the delivery fee is around 4 euro)

    That's clearly how it turned out but going in, I would have expected the a subscription to be a discount in exchange for a commitment of repeat business.

      Yeah I would expect a subscription to remove ads Personally I would absolutely refuse to pay for services that still continue to serve me ads even though I'm paying I loathe advertising. I don't understand why most people seem so apathetic about it

    You don't need a subscription to use the app, and I presume these ads are pushed to all users.

I've recently had to add a notifications system for an app I manage for a client. The client requested it, and I work as part of a larger company, so I couldn't exactly say no, but I felt pretty icky doing it

> no browser of mine is allowed to send notifications I do this for different reasons. I just don't want every site knowing when I'm logged in and using my computer, which computer that is, and whatever else information they're grabbing all day.
